MedusA Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I do love some of the weird place names. When I lived in Newmarket, there was a place nearby called "Six Mile Bottom". DD and I also love a place near Lincoln called "Spital-in-the-Street". I wonder what goes on there? I also think " Frisby-on-the-Wreake" near Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire sounds lovely. Priceless! On the pronunciation front, a place near my Mum's is spelt "Aslackby" but pronounce "Ayzalbee". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
